I AM a feminist, but...

What is the big idea with the men's rooms at Taipei 101 always having a cleaning lady poking around while we're expected to be, er, using the facilities? Yeah, I know the threat to our physical safety is infantessimal compared to the other way around, but that ain't the only reason why we have separate bathrooms for men and women. It's also a matter of privacy and boundaries, folks.

It's funny, though. For a society that has a reputation for being far more reserved than the West, certain taboos aren't really taboo here. I guess this is one of them, like it or not.
